    I bake a cake (sometimes with mindees help depending on who I've got that day) and yes I get them a card and present - I only spend £5 and it all goes through my books!
    If it's one of my pre-schoolers we have a birthday lunch - sandwiches, jelly, cakes etc!
    And I always put a birthday boy or girl banner on my front door so they feel special when they arrive in the morning

    We have a party

    My moms are fairly good and they bring in the cake and some sweets for the kids

    I do the party food - some cooked the day before with the children

    We do some dancing and have party games

    The others make a birthday card for the birthday child a few days before

    I buy a card and a gift

    Hope you have a good time

    All mine are older now so I just put a fiver in a card for them and they get to choose their favourite meal for dinner.

    if there are lots (in Nov we have 4 in the same week) we have a party tea for everyone.

    for the under 5's we meet up witha couple of other CM's and have a party day including party lunch. I buy a present and card.

    For the older ones they pick what we are having tea.

    Everyone gets a cake as your never to old for a birthday cake.

    We have child's favourite tea and cakes we have baked.

    I buy a little gift and we all make a card...

    If there's time depending on when they are collected we have a party with musical bumps and balloons
